Echoes of a Broken Love

[Intro]
Echoes of a love turned to ash
Shadows of a heart that couldn't last

[Verse 1]
I played with fire, I watched it burn
Thought I could win, but I watched her turn
Stronger and colder, slipping away
Couldn't see the damage I made that day

[Pre-Chorus]
Crushed her bones, took her for granted
Lost in my darkness, I never remembered
The hurt I caused, the pain I sealed
Now all that's left is what I can’t heal

[Chorus]
How I burned and how I killed
The love that once was real
Crushed her bones, broke her apart
All I left was a breaking heart
I took her love for granted, now I see
Nothing remains but this misery

[Bridge]
Silent screams in the night
Regret shadows every broken light
Wishing I could turn back time
Undo the damage, make it right

[Outro]
Now I walk alone, in the aftermath
Haunted by the love I let fade away
How I burned and how I killed
The love that once was real
